Note:

• When nothing is being measured, the display

will show fixed value (intrinsic capacitance).

For small capacitance measurements, this fixed

value must be subtracted from the measured

value to ensure measurement accuracy. You can

also choose the relative measurement function

(REL) to automatically subtract the intrinsic

capacitance.

• The display will show “ ” if the measured

capacitor is short-circuited or the capacitance

exceeds the maximum range.

• When measuring large volume capacitors, it is

normal to wait for several seconds to obtain a

stable reading.

• When measuring capacitance of 100nF or above,

select relative measurement mode (REL) to

ensure accuracy.

Capacitance Measurement

WARNING

Before measuring, switch off the power

supply of the circuit, and fully discharge

all capacitors.

1. Turn the rotary dial to the capacitance

( ) position. Press SELECT three times

to choose the capacitance test. [Figure 6.1]

2. Insert the black test lead into the COM

terminal, and the red test lead into the

terminal.

3. Connect both test leads to both ends of the

capacitor. Hold the leads in place until the

reading on the display stabilizes.
